Slightly off topic:
This is being fought by ISPs and civil rights groups all over the place here.
It is amazing how much brain-damage is defended by "EU Framework" these days.
It is also amazing how much national politicians and pressure groups can
assert things about *neighboring* countries that are blatantly wrong or
totally out-of-date. In the EU political structures and processes still
have to be built; it is a new thing.
